Setup Function
■ Overview
The setup function allows you to set the various parameters (about 10 to 70
constants required for operation) and write these parameters to the
SDC15/25/26/35/36 so that it functions according to your particular control
requirements. When the SDC15/25/26/35/36 is used for the first time, it will not
function as required unless it is set up by using this setup function.
Parameters such as SP (set point) and control constants (PID values) that are
changed relatively frequently while the SDC15/25/26/35/36 is running can also
be set from the monitor function screen.
By the setup function, parameters that hardly need changing later once they are set
are saved to file in list format before the SDC15/25/26/35/36 is run, and the
saved file is called up and written to the SDC15/25/26/35/36 in a single
operation.

MONITORING
Monitor Function
■ Overview
The loader exclusively for the SDC15/25/26/35/36 is used for monitoring
SDC15/25/26/35/36 operation.
To enter the monitor screens, click [Monitor] in the menu screen.
The loader has the following two monitor screens:
• Numeric Monitor screen:
This screen is for performing operations such as changing setups or switching
modes.
• Numeric display of the various running parameters
(parameters can be changed)
• Lamp indication of the various running modes
(lamp indications can be operated)
• Alarm display (representative and detailed)
• Trend Monitor screen:
This screen is for monitoring the running state of the SDC15/25/26/35/36 in the
form of a trend graph.
• Screen display of trends for max. of sixteen data items
• Screen display of digital data trends for max. of five data items
• Export of sampled data as CSV file
• Trend screen dumps
• Data type:
PV, SP, MV, user-defined data (all analog data that can be communicated)
• Sampling cycle:
Variable within the range 1 to 3600s
• Max. sampling count:
60,000 (fixed regardless of number of data items to sample)
Note
•A "CSV file" is the data format that can be handled in third-party spreadsheet
software such as Microsoft Excel. In this format, sampled trend data can be
interpreted in spreadsheet software.
These screens can be used to perform the following operations:
• Monitoring of the running state and changing of parameters in the Numeric
Monitor screen
• Switching of the run mode in the Numeric Monitor screen
• Tuning of control constants in the Numeric Monitor screen
• Monitoring of trends and sampling of data while the SDC15/25/26/35/36 is
running
• Monitoring of alarm states in the Numeric Monitor screen
Handling Precautions
• About connection to the personal computer
When making the setup or operating the monitor using the loader,
connect the loader cable.
• Before starting the trend monitor, configure the settings suitable for the
trend monitor.
• The sampling cycle sometimes shifts due to fluctuations in the
communications cycle. To perform measurement at exact times, use the
special recorder or data logger.

• Setting up the trend trigger
When setting up the trend triggers, the trend can be started and stopped according
to the status of the individual monitor.
The trend trigger setup is valid only while the individual monitor is running.
When setting up the trend save triggers, the trend can be saved according to the
status of the individual monitor.
The file is saved into a specified trend save folder in the "TREND-YYYY-MMDD-HH-MM-SS.CSV" format.
● Starting the data sampling
When the setup is completed, start up the trend monitor.
Click
icon.
The same operation can be started by selecting [Trend Monitor] → [Trend
Monitor Start].
The data sampling is started, and then the trend of the specified parameters is
displayed on the screen.
• Once the trend monitor is started, it continues until the stop operation is
performed or the data for 60,000 cycles is sampled.
• If the stop operation is not performed, the data is overwritten onto the old data
when the data sampling for 60,000 cycles is completed.
• The screen can be transited to the "Numeric Monitor" screen while the trend
monitor is running. However, the loader cannot be quitted or the screen cannot
be transited to the "Setup" screen. To do so, quit the trend monitor.
● Stopping the data sampling

format. The sampled data saved in the CSV format can be processed using
spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel.
Handling Precautions
• The data can be saved into a file even while the trend monitor is
running.
• The data, which has been saved into a file, is retained in the personal
computer unless it is initialized. However, the data saved in the file
cannot be redisplayed on the loader screen.
To display such data, use an appropriate spreadsheet application.
